Golden Wax S41 Soy Wax for container candles

Characteristics

Rules of Use

1. Melting: Melt slowly (water bath or melter). Avoid prolonged overheating (>85–90°C).
2. Adding fragrance: When wax is around ~60°C ; stir 1–2 minutes, slow and steady until smooth.
3. Fragrance percentage: Start at 8–10% . Go up to 12–15% only if fragrance allows and burn tests are positive.
4. Pouring temperature: Pour at ~31°C (when the mix begins to “cloud”); helps reduce shrinkage and uneven surfaces.
5. Container: Preheat the glass slightly (about 35–50°C ) to improve adhesion and reduce thermal shock.
6. Curing: wait ≥ 48 hours before first tests; 7–14 days for full aroma development.
7. Wick test: mandatory for every wax/fragrance/diameter combination. Evaluates flame, consumption, walls, soot, and hot throw.

Technical note: Soybeans may exhibit surface frosting /crystallization. Temperature control (melting/pouring/cooling) and stable environments help limit this.

Best practices emerging from forums & communities

• Do not overheat the wax: too high temperatures degrade the aromas and accentuate surface defects.
• Thorough mixing : Slow, steady stirring improves fragrance dispersion and burn consistency.
• Environment : Avoid drafts and sharp temperature changes during cooling to reduce cracking and staining.
• “Difficult” fragrances : some heavy fragrances may require lower % or gradual testing (8 → 9 → 10%).
• Document your tests : note wax batch, fragrance %, melt/pour temp, jar diameter, wick type, curing times.

Community recommendations are empirical: always verify with combustion tests under controlled conditions.
